The singer has revealed a headlining tour across North America that will kick off July 11 in Hershey, Pa. She’ll be on the road for much of the rest of the summer, with a final tour date Sept. 20 in Camden, N.J.

The 2009 clip is making the rounds once again after a Reddit user posted it on the social sharing site.

So, after it got posted there lazy journalists around the globe began sharing the footage. Not only that, but some are CONVINCED that this “ghost” is real.

They’re not. But why do people keep holding onto such a notion?

Christopher French of the University of London wrote in the Guardian recently, “Our fear of our own mortality plays an important role in belief in ghosts. Most of us desperately want to believe in life after death – and the idea of ghosts, however scary, seems to offer support for such a notion.”

So go ahead, watch the video. However, understand that there isn’t a ghost at Disneyland. Why? Because ghosts do not exist. That’s it.

He produced “Be My Baby” for Ariana Grande, and now he’s provided her with a new cut of R&B-inspired pop production—”Adore.”

The Norwegian producer provides her with a pillowy pop soundscape, with fluffy synths and percussion that kisses rather than knocks.

Pass the novelty Jell-O. It’s kind of hard to believe, but Better Call Sauljust keeps getting better. Funnier, more quietly devastating at times, and more intriguing. That last part is no small feat especially given the fact that loyal Breaking Bad viewers already know what will happen to two of the series’ lead cast members, Saul aka Jimmy McGill, and his eventual private eye Mike Ehrmantraut. Rather than retreat from that inevitable familiarity, series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are cleverly mining it to add more layers of depth to both of these fan favorites in BCS, especially in this week’s episode, “Alpine Shepherd Boy.”

Embodying the “actions have direct consequences” vision of morality that ran throughout Breaking Bad, “Alpine Shepherd Boy” picks up right where last week’s episode left off, just minutes after Jimmy’s electromagnetically-paranoid other brother Chuck braved the outdoors in a space blanket to take his neighbor’s newspaper. I for one thought that the scene ended cleverly enough last week, when Chuck got the newspaper back into his house and punctured Jimmy’s deception by reading about his exploits on the front page. But Gilligan, Gould and Bradley Paul (the other writer credited to this episode) saw an opportunity to extend the drama of the moment by having Chuck’s neighbor call the cops on him.

Of course, Chuck being being both reclusive and lawyerly, tries to shoo the cops away from inside by shouting legal jargon at them through his closed door. But in another brilliant nod to the series’ origins, the cops spot canisters of campfire stove fuel through Chuck’s back window and suspect he’s a meth “tweaker.” In about the worst possible outcome for Chuck given his supposed electromagnetic sensitivity, they bust in and taser him — a scene which the episode craftily cuts away from before we actually see it all go down, making it seem somehow worse in our imaginations.

We then get a laugh-out-loud hilarious series of scenes in which Jimmy pays house calls to potential clients who saw his billboard stunt from last week. Given Jimmy’s luck so far, we shouldn’t be surprised that most of these people are themselves more than a little off-kilter, from Richard “Ricky” Sipes, the wealthy secessionist redneck who wants Jimmy to help him fight the US government but is only willing to pay him in his own worthless “Sandia Republic” currency, to the young father-turned inventor who wants to patent a talking toilet (“Tony the Toilet Buddy”) he built to potty train his kids, which Jimmy notes is oddly sexual in its reinforcements. “Give it to me Chandler, I want it all, Ahhh.”

Jimmy finally winds up at the home of a sweet old lady, Mrs. Strauss, helping her draft a complicated will to bequeath her descendants her most valued possessions: a fantastically large collection of tiny novelty figurines straight out of the “Precious Moments” lineup. Somehow it makes sense that Jimmy would hit it off with this cute old woman, accurately remembering which figure she promised to which relative. When she compliments him by saying he’s not an idiot like other lawyers, he comes back with an especially apt line: “Only half of us are idiots, the other half are crooks.”

We obviously know which category Jimmy falls into. Yet again we see him trying to do right by his troubled older brother. His late night pedicure session with his onetime love interest and friend Kim Wexler gets interrupted when she gets a call that Chuck has been hospitalized. Kim and Jimmy rush to Chuck’s bedside, where Jimmy frantically shuts off all the various electrically equipment in the room that’s been causing Chuck to freak out.

Jimmy and Chuck try to explain Chuck’s condition to the attending doctor and Chuck finally puts a name to it: electromagnetic hypersensitivity. A real but controversial phenomena experienced by a small handful of people, Chuck describes a number of what he says are painful physical symptoms, including a “burning sensation in my skin,” “sharp cold in my bones,” and “vertigo,” — the latter of which has been well depicted in the jaggy cinematography whenever Chuck encounters electrical devices. He and Jimmy both adamantly resist the doctor’s suggestion that Chuck be committed to a psychiatric facility. Yet Dr. Cruz craftily proves that Chuck’s condition is really psychosomatic in origin by turning on his motorized hospital bed without him noticing.

“That was a dirty trick,” Jimmy says to Doctor Cruz when they step outside Chuck’s hospital room. Again, who would know better? Doctor Cruz counters by pointing out that Jimmy is enabling Chuck more than he’s helping him. And when Howard Hamlin, Chuck’s former law partner arrives like the cavalry and tells Jimmy he wants to keep Chuck out of the psych ward in order to avoid having to cash him out of the firm, Jimmy finally seems to come around to the idea that Chuck should be committed.

First though, he takes Chuck back home. And in what will become only the second saddest scene in the episode, we watch as Jimmy clumsily apologizes to Chuck for his billboard stunt, saying the shame he’s caused Chuck is the real root of Chuck’s symptoms (“You got sick cause you saw this story!”) We realize now that Jimmy’s steadfast care for his older brother is motivated not only out of a sense of duty to Chuck for having bailed him out of trouble countless times, but also out of guilt for causing his brother trouble in the first place.

But the theme of the episode, “elder care,” again turns comedic when Jimmy takes his success with Mrs. Strauss and runs with it. He visits in a nursing home dressed like Matlock and shamelessly schmoozes the residents as they down cups of gelatin with his likeness and latest slogan printed on the bottom: “Need a will? Call McGill!” This is perhaps the most Saul-like moment we’ve seen on the show yet, and it’s awesome to see Jimmy developing and refining his trademark sleezy style.

The episode closes with Mike Ehrmantraut, still a parking attendant, getting off his graveyard shift and parking his car outside a suburban home. Is he stalking someone? Spying on them? Playing off our familiarity with his work on Breaking Bad, the writers make us suspect he’s up to no good. But then Doctor Cruz emerges from the house and glares at him from her own car, and Mike’s silent, saddened expression tells us there’s some secret unresolved drama between them. We can’t help but think this must be Mike’s daughter, the mother of the granddaughter he dotes upon later in Bad. But for now, she’s just someone who’s not happy to see him.

A forlorn Mike then returns home and sits alone in front of his TV. Here we realize that despite their so-far contentious relationship, he and Jimmy are actually kindred spirits — both trying to care for their loved ones but falling short, and both solitary and guilt-ridden as a result. Mike’s pitiable moment is interrupted by a knock at the door: the cops and a few plainclothes detectives, one of whom Mike knows and calls out. “You’re a long way from home aren’t you?” Mike asks the man. “You and me both,” the investigator answers. They might be, and so too is Jimmy. But Breaking Bad viewers are right back where they belong.

Katy Perry really, really, really wanted you to stop making your own DIY Left Shark costumes from the Super Bowl—they’re just terrible—so she’s now selling her own Left Shark outfit.

For $129 you can buy your own official Left Shark onesie, or as Katy’s calling it a “belovesie.” The 100% polyester seems perfect for those chilly nights watching TV. We should mention though that with a description that claims this hooded jumpsuit was made “using a special sublimation technique to provide a vivid graphic image,” she definitely won’t be quelling any of those Illuminati rumors.

Last year, a news story circulated where Seth Rogen very bluntly expressed his opinion on Justin Bieber. “He’s a good example of someone you meet, who you think you’re going to hate, and then you get to hate him as much as you thought. You meet him, and and he lives up to every one of your expectations of how you hope he will be,” according toBillboard.

If there was any doubt as to how Rogen felt, a follow-up tweet summed it all up, saying “All jokes aside, Justin Bieber is a piece of s–t.”

In the first shot, scissors are caught just before the climactic cut, asking "should we?"]]>By Philip Cosores

When Jared Leto was recently cast for the role of Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, fans rejoiced, as his first high-profile role since winning the Academy Award for Dallas Buyers Club meant taking on the part that was made famous by both Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger.

However, maybe Leto’s fans should have kept their joy in check, as taking on the part has meant that Leto has chopped off his trademark long locks. Yes, the 30 Seconds to Mars singer now has short hair for the first time in a long time.

The 1970s were a pretty trippy time. No, make that a very trippy time.

As the Mad Men generation started to lose its grip on reality due to all that drinking, smoking, infidelity, sexism, self-righteousness, narcissim and, worst of all, commuting, their contribution Saturday morning kids shows got totally weird.

Talking chimps? Magic flutes? A world of magical hats lorded over by Charles Nelson Reilly? Today, you’d be able to share the insane folly of these creations immediately with your friends via social media. Back then, however, kids had no way to get in-the-moment feedback from their peers about the wackiness unfolding before them on their television screens.

And then, by the time they got to see their friends at school on Monday morning, the mind-bending damage was already done.

So if you have a loved one who grew up back then, maybe this list of the 5 Insane Saturday Morning Shows from the 1970s will help you understand them a little bit better.

According to their website, the Sriracha Quesarito is “the Quesarito you love now with 2 layers of our insanely good Sriracha sauce.” Sounds simple and also sounds like a brilliant idea.

The taste of the Sriracha Quesarito is really a miss. For my taste, the Sriracha overwhelmed the other flavors of the Quesarito. If you really love Sriracha that might sound like a good thing but the issue is that the texture of the Quesarito starts to really standout once the flavors are limited to one. You get just a heavy mushy Sriracha flavored mass. Not good.

My partner in taste test had what sounded like a poorly constructed Sriracha Quesarito where only portions had Sriracha and a lot of it. This also poses a problem.

Overall, we would say skip the Sriracha Quesarito. You can always buy a regular Quesarito and just add the Sriracha yourself to taste. I know that is old-school but it will be much more satisfying.

That being said, I give the Sriracha Quesarito 1 Coronaries.

Yes, it’s safe the humans behind loser.com are bigger fans of Beck than they are of Kanye West. That would be the most obvious reasoning behind the digital diss, given West pulling a dramatic stage-rush at this year’s Grammy awards to protest Beck winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé‘s favored self-titled release.

West recently apologized publicly to Beck for the interruption (via Twitter, no less), but that was obviously not enough for loser.com. Maybe they’re still mad about West for his notorious stage-rush and mic-grab move on Taylor Swift at the VMAs that happened so long about that Swift and West are buddies who have dinner and talk about making music together now?

If you missed the show you can catch up right here, or if you were at the show then you can relive the whole experience!]]>By Christian Saad

Over the weekend the girls from Fifth Harmony kicked off their sold out 2015 Reflection Tour right here in San Francisco! Tickets for this show sold out so quickly that there were a lot of Harmonizers who weren’t able to go inside the historic Regency Ballroom. Congratulations to the lucky fans who won their tickets on our station! If we took your picture at the show, there’s links to all the fan photos below!

Before the show started all the VIP ticket holders got to do a private soundcheck performance. During this time the girls performed two intimate songs and had a special Q&A with their fans. The meet n greet also involved a lot of girls screaming, crying and not being able to compose themselves!

At exactly 8:50PM the lights went black and the curtain dropped as the intro music to “Reflection” started! As soon as the lights slowly came on, we could see the shadows emerging from Ally, Camila, Normani, Lauren and Dinah Jane! This was definitely the best way to kick off the show, with the title track of their #1 debut album. Right away, fans in the audience were going absolutely wild and the high-pitched screaming was unavoidable in any inch of the venue.

The girls went on to perform songs from their debut EP Better Together as well as their debut album Reflection. After performing singles “Miss Movin’ On” “Sledgehammer” and “BO$$” the girls had a special little surprise for the audience. Dinah said “who’s ready to get like Mariah?” and the crowd screamed so loud! The girls went on to perform a Mariah Carey medley which absolutely blew me and the rest of the audience away. After the medley the girls went straight into my favorite song from Reflection which of course is “Like Mariah!”

There was also a really touching moment in the show where the girls got really intimate with their fans and performed a few of their songs acoustically. In this portion of the show the girls performed “Who Are You” “We Know” and a very touching cover of Hozier‘s “Take Me To Church.” During the Hozier cover Lauren showed off her vocal skills and everyone kept screaming her name during all her solo parts.

After performing their hit single “BO$$” the girls left the stage and the lights went dark for about two minutes. The intro music for “Brave Honest Beautiful” started which is another one of my favorite tracks from the Reflection album. As you harmonizers already know, the album version of the song features Meghan Trainor. Since she wasn’t there tonight to perform with the group, they decided to bring five little girls on stage with them. This was a very empowering moment of the show and the lyrics of the song made this a very emotional moment. I can’t think of a better way for the girls to end this sold out show.

Personally this was my fifth time seeing the girls live. Every single time the group comes back to the Bay Area they are stronger and more seasoned performers. If you ever get the chance to see Fifth Harmony live, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Would the world have loved seeing Snoop Dogg as much? We will never know because, as Perry tells Elle magazine in their March cover story on the pop star, the NFL blocked his appearance.

“And you wanna know why? Because of the Iggy Azalea thing,” Perry said, referencing a series of jokes that turned into rants against the female rapper on his Instagram account. “Not that that was it—that was just the tipping point. You can’t have that kind of hate at the Super Bowl. They already have enough female-hate problems; they don’t need any more.”

Enter "Twerk Queen Louise." Guess what she's really good at?]]>In the history of popular music, plenty of songs have been inspired by the posterior. And plenty of posteriors have shaken to plenty of songs. But has anyone’s butt ever created any actual music? Rarely, if ever.

That’s about to change, thanks to an audio design company from Denmark called AIAIAI.

“The overall idea behind the project,” the company says on its website, “was to provide AIAIAI headphone-users and other music lovers with new music. Moreover, we wanted to do this in an unusual way, which brought about music made by the booty, for the booty.”

It seems AIAIAI feels that twerking has gotten something of a bad rap, so to speak: “Ever since ‘twerking’ was added to the Oxford dictionary along with ‘selfie,’ this particular type of booty-shaking has seen its fair share of media limelight. The likes of Miley Cyrus may have given twerking a somewhat dubious name, and at this stage you’d be forgiven for regarding the phenomenon as a passing fad. On the other hand, it continues to pop up in popular culture in everything from Nicki Minaj workouts and Basement Jaxx videos to Diplo and Major Lazer shows. More to the point: it places itself firmly in the rich heritage of bass-driven club culture where dancing and booty-shaking is the main event.”

Which is all well and good. But they didn’t just talk about changing the perception of twerking. They’re actually doing something about it.

Barry Zito goes back to the minor leagues, The Bachelor goes from the farm land to the dance floor, and callers chime in about whether or not their husbands can hold down the fort while they’re away! Plus, Lady Gaga and her boyfriend literally freeze while raising money for charity, LeBron James gets kicked below the belt, and Shan heads back to the courthouse!

Ladies, if you’re thinking you like Hozier but there are a few things about him you’d like to change to make him the perfect boyfriend, forget it. That much is clear in the singer’s new video for “Someone New,” out today.

Natalie Dormer, best known to plebeians as Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones and playing the female iteration of the character in the song, also won’t be tamed if you were thinking you could get it.

Dormer plays a blonde vixen looking for a constant “someone new.” In a grungy London club she sneaks into the bathroom with one guy. On the tube heading home she manages to make out with another man—or it is just her imagination? By the time she sees herself holding hands and drinking whiskey from a paper bag with a woman, it’s clear she is only experiencing these encounters in her mind.

“We were almost out there too long,” Glenn (Steven Yeun) says in his interview/audition for Alexandria residency (everyone in the cast was interviewed on video – but why?).

Almost? Some of his traveling companions may have been “out there” entirely too long.

Alexandria seems too good to be true: it’s a remarkably well preserved gated community that few of them could have afforded to live in before the zombie apocalypse. Not only do the homes look nice: they also have running water and electricity. The community is led by Deanna Monroe (Tovah Feldshuh) a former Congresswoman, who recognizes that Rick’s group possess a survival instinct that the current residents of Alexandria either never had, or have lost.

But that survival instinct may have made our friends feral; they may no longer be suited for domestic life. As Rick (Andrew Lincoln) says to Deanna during his interview, “You should keep your gates closed.” Why, she asks. “It’s all about survival now, at any cost. People out there are always looking for an angle. Looking to play on your weakness.”

The Congresswoman (and we, the viewers) wondered if he was warning her, or if he was already being protective of his new home. As it turns out: probably both. There are early signs that this may not work out: Team Rick wasn’t welcomed by all the residents. Glenn didn’t take kindly to being treated as a newbie (by a self-admitted “douchebag”) on his first supplies run; this led to a fight that almost broke into a full-on brawl. Glenn knocked the said douche on his ass; Deanna thanked him for that (clearly the guy needed a butt kicking) and it even made Maggie (Lauren Cohen) smile. If we were betting types, we’d say that this guy is as dead as one of those nameless red shirt science officers on Star Trek (original series, obviously).

Late Saturday night (Feb. 28), Kanye West announced his new album titled So Help Me God on Twitter.

Kanye also tweeted the artwork to the album, pictured above and below. As Stereogum observes, those symbols every 15 minutes on the album cover seem to be a 13th Century monastic symbol for the Virgin Mary. Very cool! We are now well in the midst of Yeezy season.

Just in case you got too wrapped up in your work to keep up the the week’s biggest stories, we’ve compiled them right here, just for you.

So crack open a beer or steam some hot cocoa (it’s cold out there!) and read on:

A site we recently uncovered allows you to figure out what song was at the top of the charts on the day you were born, as long as you were born after the year 1900. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can also see what song was popular on the day you were conceived too.

White Llama and Black Llama have since been captured, but for a brief afternoon, two llamas kept the country on the edge of their seats while they trampled down streets and hid in empty parking lots (llamas are terrible at hiding) in a wild attempt at liberty. Then, they got tired and probably kind of hungry and just gave up.

Ugh, we’re already so sick of talking about this weird Twitter-fueled phenomenon, so, if you don’t already know what #TheDress is all about, click the link above.

A couple weeks after premiering the Kylie Minogue-sampling “Cool,” Alesso has now released a video for the single, which will appear on his still unannounced debut LP, along with previously released singles “Heroes (We Could Be)” and “Tear The Roof Up.”

The clip stars the DJ in full nerd garb, tracing some traditional and campy high school stereotypes (jocks, brains, school dances) with the kind of playfulness we’ve seen from everyone from Britney Spears to Taylor Swift.

The video turns itself upside down when Alesso starts dancing over the Roy English vocals, overwhelmed by his attraction to his teacher, showing impressive abilities and a certain lack of self-consciousness that can’t help but amuse.

Kelly Clarkson is one of the few artists that can have her cake and eat it too. Specifically, she can make pop music for country fans or country music for pop fans.

She’s collaborated with a number of country’s biggest names in recent years—including Jason Aldean, Reba McEntire and Ronnie Dunn, just to name a few. But judging by the songwriters she worked with this time around, she has the pop charts squarely in her sights with her new album,Piece By Piece.

The first single, “Heartbeat Song,” reunites Clarkson with producer Greg Kurstin, who she’d worked with over the years, including on her classic “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You.)” But, per the single’s title, it’s not a heartbreak song—and Ms. Clarkson has certainly rocked a few of those over the years—but a song about getting through heartbreak.

The music video follows that theme focusing on a bunch of people on the wrong end of a breakup. We’ve all been there and we all know it’s devastating. You feel like you’ll never get over it, but then, hey, you bump into someone new. Whatever kills you makes you stronger, indeed.

The happily married new mom told Radio.com that “Heartbeat Song” was the “perfect first single; it really bridged a gap between my last album, Stronger and Piece By Piece. It’s a new chapter in my life, and I wanted to start out being positive and powerful.”

After briefly leaking it two weeks ago, Netflix dropped season 3 of House of Cards today (2/27) and tension on social media regarding spoilers is already building. It’s not helping that the release took place on a Friday when, you know, many people are at work.

As previously reported, this season looks like a busy one for Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his ruthless co-conspirator/wife Claire (Robin Wright). At the end of season two [SPOILER ALERT], Underwood was about to be sworn in a President of the United States.

Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams have a long and storied history, from “Drop It Like It’s Hot” to “Beautiful,” and that history will begin a new chapter next month, as Snoop Dogg is expected to drop his latest album, Bush, which will be produced entirely by Williams.

To get you pumped, Snoop and Pharrell have offered up a new album teaser for the collection.

The idea behind the 15-second video is simple enough: show Snoop and Pharrell dancing, having fun, and seeming to just have a little party in the studio. Essentially, if the album sounds as fun as it looks like it was to make, we are all in for a treat.

One thing that Clarkson has learned in her self-reflection is there’s only one person she’s ever professed her love to—and truly meant it.

“He was the first guy I… said it [to]—and wanted to say it,” Clarkson said in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, which airs this weekend. “I didn’t feel like I had to. Because, like, ‘Oh, that’s what you have to do when you say it.’ Yeah, yeah, that’s the first time that happened. That’s horrible. But it’s true. And that’s how–what it is.”

At least those other failed relationships provided her with material for her upcoming album Piece By Piece, which comes out March 3.

Yes, ladies and gents you heard right. On Thursday night, Skrillex and Diplo dropped a new album Jack U. And it surprisingly contains JB’s remix to Where are you now. JB released this song back in 2010 so we can all sit back and relax, the song is not about Selena. Or is this new remix sending out a cry for love?

Cue David Guetta, with Brit singer Emeli Sandé on vocals, to bring us a new and improved round of debate, in which we wonder what exactly was done for love, in their video for “What I Did for Love.”

The video, in an attempt to side-step the issue, is a cartoon about interspecies love. That is, the love between a very oversized cartoon chimp and a woman. If that sounds familiar, then you’ve seen King Kong. And what the ape does for love, outside of fall in love outside of his own species and defy the laws of nature by doing so, is punch a shark.
